LAS VEGAS - Seeing disturbing indications that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration may plan to address the issue of sleep apnea among truck drivers with a "guidance" rather than a rulemaking, the American Trucking Associations has a new policy position that will allow its staff to work to convince agency leaders that a formal rulemaking process is necessary.The new policy was approved by the ATA board of directors during ATA's annual Management Conference & Exhibition.

Protective effect of the methanol extract from
Basic research
In folk medicine, the aerial part of
We measured nitric oxide (NO), inducible NO synthase (iNOS), and inflammatory cytokine levels from LPS-stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages. Also, several cellular signaling molecules which regulate the expressions of these inflammatory markers were examined. Finally, we tested whether oral administration of CJ methanol extract might affect the serum cytokine levels in LPS-injected mice.
CJ methanol extract reduced NO release via iNOS protein inhibition. The extract was also shown to decrease the secretions of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-12. Analysis of signaling molecules showed that CJ inhibited the phosphorylation of STAT1, p38, JNK and ERK1/2 as well as IκBα degradation. Finally, CJ decreased the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in LPS-injected mice.
Our results demonstrated the anti-inflammatory activity of CJ methanol extract and its possible underlying mechanisms that involve modulation of IκBα, MAPK, and STAT1 activities.
Macrophages are professional phagocytes that reside in tissues throughout the body to remove cellular debris and effete cells generated under physiologic conditions
Signals derived from pathogens or host cells, such as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PMAP), danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMP) and interferon (IFN)-γ, can activate macrophages
Despite the long-lasting use of CJ in folk medicine, scientific evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. A recent study showed that the seed essential oils of CJ have antioxidant and hypolipidemic effects
Identification of chemical constituents in the methanol extract of the aerial part of
We performed gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in order to characterize the chemical constituents in the methanol extract of the aerial part of
Effects of CJ methanol extract on LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) and inducible NO synthase
In an attempt to examine the anti-inflammatory effect of CJ methanol extract, we first measured the levels of nitric oxide (NO) produced by LPS-stimulated macrophages. In our in vitro system, pretreatment with IFN-γ increased the NO release in LPS-stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages (Figure

Effects of CJ methanol extract on LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines
Activated macrophages initiate the inflammatory response by secreting TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-12. We examined whether CJ methanol extract might influence the levels of these inflammatory cytokines in response to LPS using ELISA. As shown in Figures
Figure 2
Effect of CJ methanol extract on TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-12 in LPS-stimulated macrophages
Effect of CJ methanol extract on TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-12 in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Peritoneal macrophages were stimulated with LPS (100 ng/ml) in the presence of CJ methanol extract for 18 h. Cytokine production in the culture medium was measured by ELISA. Data represent mean ± SD of four independent assays. * denotes significant difference (
Effects of CJ methanol extract on IκBα degradation
IκBα is a key regulator of NF-κB proteins. In its inactive form, NF-κB is sequestered by IκBα in the cytosol; however, LPS causes the IκBα kinase (IKK) to catalyze the phosphorylation of IκBα, which results in the degradation of IκBα and the translocation of NF-κB to the nucleus
Figure 3
Effect of CJ methanol extract on LPS-induced IκBα degradation and IKK activation
Effect of CJ methanol extract on LPS-induced IκBα degradation and IKK activation. Peritoneal macrophages were pretreated with CJ methanol extract 1 h followed by LPS stimulation for 15 min. Total protein was extracted and assessed by Western blotting. One of four experiments is shown. Data represent mean ± SD of four independent assays. * denotes significant difference (
Effects of CJ methanol extract on MAPK signaling
We further investigated the effect of CJ methanol extract on the activations of JNK, p38, and ERK1/2, the major MAPKs that mediate LPS-induced signal transduction. Fifteen minutes of LPS activation sufficiently induced the phosphorylations of p38, JNK and ERK1/2, and treatment with CJ methanol extract caused inhibitions in all of these kinases (Figure

Total protein was extracted and assessed by Western blotting. One of four experiments is shown. Data represent mean ± SD of four independent assays. * denotes significant difference (
Effects of CJ methanol extract on STAT1 activation
STAT proteins are latent gene regulatory proteins that play an important role in cytokine-mediated intracellular signaling

Total protein was extracted and assessed by Western blotting. One of four experiments is shown. Data represent mean ± SD of four independent assays. * denotes significant difference (
In vivo effect of CJ methanol extract on the serum cytokines from LPS-injected mice
Finally, we attempted to confirm the in vivo effect of CJ on acute inflammatory responses. Mice were given CJ for 1 week before intraperitoneal injection of LPS. CJ treated mice showed a dose-dependent decrease in serum TNF-α and IL-6 1 h after LPS challenge, but only the high dose group ( 400 mg/kg) reached statistical significance (Figure
Figure 6
Effect of CJ methanol extract on serum cytokines in LPS-injected mice
Effect of CJ methanol extract on serum cytokines in LPS-injected mice. CJ methanol extract ( 25, 100, and 400 mg/kg) was orally given to mice for 1 week. Untreated and control groups received an equal volume of water. On day 7 intraperitoneal injection of LPS (1.3 mg/kg) was carried out. Serum was obtained 1 h after LPS challenge. Data are mean ± SEM of three independent assays (n=13∼16). * :
In this paper, we investigated the in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory effects of CJ methanol extract using the LPS-mediated model and found that the extract from this plant was able to suppress the productions of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-12 in activated macrophages. Also, CJ methanol extract inhibited LPS or LPS/IFN-γ-triggered intracellular signaling pathways that end in the activation of such molecules as IκBα, MAPK and STAT1.
NO is a signaling molecule; it diffuses into the cytosol of neighboring cells and binds to the iron cofactor of guanylate cyclase, triggering activation of the enzyme and elevating intracellular cGMP concentrations
TNF-α and IL-6 play major roles in vascular permeability, neutrophil recruitment, blood clotting, and acute phase protein synthesis: all of which are characteristics of acute inflammation. IL-12 activates NK cells and promotes the differentiation of T-helper cells into IFN-γ-secreting Th1 cells, which enhance macrophage activity
IFN-γ upregulates the receptors for PAMP and DAMP, resulting in enhanced macrophage function. IFN-γ-dependent biological responses were impaired in STAT1-deficient mice
Many medicinal and food plants that belong to the Apiaceae family contain bioactive polyacetylenes
Taken together, the aerial part of CJ methanol extract was effective in suppressing the production of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-12 in LPS-stimulated macrophages in vitro and in vivo. The anti-inflammatory action of this plant includes modulation of STAT1 and MAPK activation as well as IκBα degration. Future study is required to characterize the active compounds of CJ extract.
Sample preparation
The aerial parts of
Gas chromatography / mass spectrometery
One mg of CJ methanol extract dissolved in 0.01 ml of DMSO was examined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometer (Perkin Elmer Clarus 600T). A DB-5MS capillary column (30m x 0.25mm, film thickness 0.25μm) was used for the separation of constituents. The column temperatures were programmed from 50°C hold in initial 3 min to 140°C hold in 8.5 min, and then 310°C hold in 35 min. A constant flow rate of 1.0 ml/min was applied by using helium as the carrier gas. The electron energy for the mass selective detector was 70 eV. The temperature of the ion source was set at 255°C. Mass selective detector was used in SCAN mode over a mass scan range at m/z 50 to 600.
BALB/c mice (male, 8 weeks of age) were purchased from the Korean branch of Taconic, Samtaco (Osan, Korea), kept in a temperature-and humidity-controlled, pathogen-free animal facility at Kyung Hee University and provided standard mouse chow and water
Isolation of peritoneal macrophages
Mice were injected intraperitoneally with 2 ml of sterile thioglycollate medium (BD, Sparks, MD, USA). Three days later, macrophages were collected by peritoneal lavage with cold Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM). Cells were resuspended in DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum and incubated for 2 h in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37°C. Non-adherent cells were removed and the resulting adherent cell population consisted of 95% macrophages, as determined by morphology and non-specific esterase staining.
Viability assay
Cells were seeded at 4x104/ 0.1 ml in 96-well plates and stimulated for 24 h at increasing concentrations of CJ methanol extract. Cell viability was determined using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfopnehyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). Optical density was read at 490 nm with a microplate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA).
Measurement of nitrites
Cells were seeded at 2x106/ 2.0 ml in 6-well plates and primed for 2 h with 0.5 ng/ml of IFN-γ (BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, USA) before addition of LPS and CJ methanol extract. At 18 h after LPS stimulation, supernatant and cell pellets were used for subsequent assays. 50 μl medium was incubated with an equal volume of Griess reagent (Sigma) for 15 min at room temperature. The absorbance at 550 nm was measured with the microplate reader.
Cytokine measurement
Supernatants or sera were appropriately diluted and the levels of cytokines were measured by ELISA according to the manufacturer's protocol (BD Pharmingen).
Analysis of signaling molecules
Cells were seeded at 3x106/ 2.0 ml in 6-well plates and pre-treated for 1 h with CJ methanol extract and then stimulated with LPS for additional 15 min or 3 h. For the measurement of phospho-STAT1, cells were primed with IFN-γ.
Western blotting
Total proteins were prepared by resuspending the cells in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.5; 150 mM NaCl; 1mM EDTA; 20mM NaF; 0.5% NP-40; and 1% Triton X-100) containing a phosphatase inhibitor (Sigma) and a protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). Protein concentration was determined using the Bradford assay. Cell extracts were run on an 8% or 10% sodiumdodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel and were transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride. The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk in Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween 20 (TBST) for 1 h and then incubated overnight at 4°C incubated with IκBα, β-tubulin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA), iNOS (BD Pharmingen), phospho-IκBα, phospho-JNK, JNK, phospho-p38, p38, phospho-ERK1/2, ERK1/2, phospho-STAT1, or STAT1 (Cell Signaling Technology, CA, USA) diluted 1/1000 in 5% skim milk in TBST. The blots were washed with TBST and incubated for 1 h with anti-rabbit or anti-mouse HRP-conjugated antibody (diluted 1:5000 in 5% skim milk in TBST). Immunoreactive bands were developed using an enhanced chemiluminescence system (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, UK).
In vivo experiment
CJ methanol extract dissolved in water ( 25, 100, and 400 mg/kg) was orally given for 1 week. On day 7, intraperitoneal injection of LPS (1.3 mg/kg) was performed and 1 h later mice were anesthetized with ether and blood was obtained by cardiac puncture.
Statistical analysis
Statistical differences among the means of multiple groups were determined by using one way ANOVA followed by Dunnet's post hoc test. The difference between the two means was assessed using non-paired student's t test. Calculations were carried out using SPSS version 12. P values less than 0.05 were considered significant.

1. Re: want a way to unset radio buttonsMichael Ferrante-Oracle Jul 26, 2013 3:50 PM (in response to lake)
As always, thank you very much for the suggestion - keep them coming...
An FRM-30188 at compile time is only a warning and can be ignored assuming it is accurate. Your FMX will still be created.
As for allowing null values in radio buttons, well my initial thought was "hmmm.... maybe". However, after doing some investigation and even some experimenting, this may not be doable or practical. The point of a radio button is to choose one and only one value. If null happens to be one of those possible values then you need to account for it. If you do not allow NULL then there will be no valid value that can be selected and therefore you will not be able to keyboard navigate to the radio group. Why not add a "null" value? For example, it could be presented as "None" or "N/A". Something like this:
- Red
- White
- Blue
- None
If you want toggling behavior then a checkbox is what you need. You can code logic to only allow one checkbox to be selected at a time if necessary.

Excellent for what you pay,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Coby CVE92 Isolation Stereo Earphones (Discontinued by Manufacturer) (Electronics)
I gave this product 4 stars cause I rated the product based on price/value, product quality and sound quality. Based upon all these I believe for $10 after shipping, you just can not beat the sound of these earphones. Yes, they are bass heavy and tend to muddy the overall sound spectrum a bit because of this fact, but it is easily overcome with an EQ setting on the ipod. The sound seems tight and crisp to me listening to pop, rock and some jazz on a EQ setting of treble booster. I couldnt listen to it at full volume to see where I could head distortion in lower or higher freq. The cable lanyard going into the buds seems kind of fragile. The silicon tips feel much cheaper that the tips on my Sennheiser CX-300's. Yet, these babies play the music on my ipod much louder than the CX-300's and do not seem to distort as easy as the CX-300s in the lower freq from what I have seen. Bottom line-5 stars = price/value, 4 stars = product quality and 4 stars = sound quality. If you are rough on earphones, keep your $10. But, if you are looking for a replacement earphone for your ipod and you are on a tight budget and arent an audiophilist, these may be for you.

The sudden death of Larry Woltz has left a huge empty space at the SPCA and in the hearts of all of us. Larry was the face of investigations in Lycoming County for 45 years – a consummate professional, he worked day after day to secure the protection of animals in the face of difficult, sometimes violent pet owners and never lost his determination to make the lives of animals better.
Larry was the investigative officer, along with Lester Yeagle, when I first became a member of the board thirty years ago. I can remember Margaret Megahan speaking in glowing terms about the jobs they did, each in their own unique way!
A multitude of cats, dogs, rabbits, rats and many other sorts of creatures are safe today because of his efforts – what a legacy!
We will miss Larry, his dedication, his humor, his warm affection – his shoes will be very hard to fill. However, Larry didn't want to retire as long as he could continue and he did his best – it is up to us to see that his mission continues!
Joyce S. Hershberger
Lawrence D. Woltz began his career at the Lycoming County SPCA in September of 1971. There is a lot to be said about a career of 45 years.
This simple remembrance will not do ju
Larry often talked about how it was "in the old days." He used to say, "We took care of the animals, did maintenance on the building, and mowed the grass on the weekends." He enjoyed talking about the history of the SPCA and never really focused on his part of it over the years. Even in his quarterly newsletter reports, he wrote of the needs of the animals and the laws that protect them. One of his favorite expressions was: "We care for everything from horses to hamsters." Larry was instrumental in rescuing thousands of animals from neglect and abuse and still, his focus remained on what was best for our furry friends.
Larry saw many changes over the 45 years at the SPCA, and in all honesty, he sometimes reluctantly accepted those changes. The biggest hurdle he got over was switching from a typewriter to a computer. The SPCA began using computers when the new building was constructed in 1998. A data base that kept records on animals brought in and adopted was used by the secretarial staff. Later, a more broad based data system was implemented. It took several years before he could be convinced that a computer was easier to use. Even when he started, (very reluctantly) to use the computer, he held on to his typewriter for many years. He didn't want a GPS either but once he started using one he was demanding a new one when his first GPS no longer worked.
He had a rapport with the staff and a teasing manner that made him well loved. In return, the staff teased back and there are many stories about his antics as well as those of the staff. He gave nicknames to his favorites, and often requested specific staff members to help him when he served a warrant.
His personnel file if filled with accomplishments and letters of gratitude. He was nominated for, and won a Red Cross Hero award and a Federated Humane Society Police Officer of the Year Award.
The role of a Humane Police officer is difficult; an officer must deal with people from all walks of life, deal with animals in all kinds of weather, and prosecute animal abusers in a court of law. Lawrence Woltz did it all with finesse. His knowledge, dedication, hard work, and personality will be missed. There is a huge void at the Lycoming County SPCA that will be difficult to fill. Larry is sadly missed.
stice to the hard work and dedication to the animals of Lycoming County by this officer.

If your New Year's Resolution included writing a will, the Lycoming County SPCA and McNerney, Page, Vanderlin & Hall Law Firm promises to provide some information and motivation to help get the often procrastinated process started, or completed. They will host an estate planning workshop at the Lycoming County SPCA on Wednesday, January 13th. Attendees may RSVP for an 8:00 am breakfast session or a lunch session at noon. Each one-hour gathering will overview estate planning topics from Powers of Attorney and Living Wills, to Pet Trusts and advantages of making charitable gifts. Light fare will be offered at each of the free sessions.
"Estate planning should be a leading resolution for each of us in the new year, whether it involves revisiting an existing plan or finally implementing foundational documents. As part of the planning process, we can't forget our pets and those charities and organizations that are important to each of us," said Jonathan DeWald, attorney at McNerney, Page, Vanderlin and Hall in downtown Williamsport. "This seminar will identify options to provide for your family members and discuss how to structure planned giving opportunities."
One of the SPCA's goals in hosting educational sessions with local attorneys and financial planners is to encourage individuals to consider their animals and the companion animals of their loved ones when preparing their wills and other estate planning documents. "We'll offer considerations when writing a pet trust and options and advantages for donating to the SPCA, or to any non-profit," said development director, Mindee Lyon. "We also like to remind the community that our SPCA is locally run and we do not receive funding from any larger humane organizations, including the ASPCA." Money donated to the Lycoming County SPCA all stays here to care for homeless and abused animals.
Those interested in attending either of the free, one hour breakfast or lunch sessions are asked to contact the Lycoming County SPCA at 570-322-4646 to RSVP. Tours of the shelter will be offered after each session for those interested.

Skip to comments.Romney Visits Nebraska, Talks Health Care [where he defends Romneycare]
Posted on 10/09/2009 11:41:06 PM PDT by rabscuttle385
OMAHA, Neb. -- A familiar face came to Nebraska on Friday, hoping to raise a lot of money for the state Republican party and perhaps raise his profile for the 2012 presidential race.
Former candidate Mitt Romney was the keynote speaker for the Nebraska Republican Party's Founder's Day dinner.
The appearance, one of several planned in the past few weeks, may have helped boost his party's hopes in Nebraska's second Congressional district.
He said he's also hoping to bring attention to the debate over health care reform.
(Excerpt) Read more at ketv.com ...
"The Republican Party has put out a lot of health care plans," he said. Only Massachusetts has got everyone insured, he said. "Republicans have led on this."
Great....Romney posing as a republican, made slaves of the citizens of the state of Massachusetts to the insurance companies.
Just what we need.....
Can Romney just shut is mouth!?
Who cares... Lame
willard talkin' up rats and rodent feces.
But wait...he has good family values! lol
Since we have children, educated idiots, and all manner of selfishness and cowardice leading this nation at all levels of government, quite frankly, we're screwed unless the vast majority of people in this country have an epiphany....which I don't see happening. We may stave this off for now, or even for a few more elections, but it's coming, just as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow...
"Folks throw around the term public option, but what we're out here saying is there has to be affordable health care for everybody," said Jane Kleeb of Change That Works Nebraska.
I wont be voting for Romney, might as well keep the Kenyan.
Paying the Health Tax in Massachusetts [Romneycare]
The only thing that will save this once-great nation from the otherwise-inevitable disaster is a massive repentance and returning Jesus Christ to His rightful place in our public and private lives.
Which reminds me that I need to do just that, with a little more resolve thann I have been. Thank you for that...
Well; for ME and MY family, we DEFINITELY want a new epiphany!
Our old one is a clunker and we are embarrassed to be seen with it.
Problem is - we can't afford a new one.
Perhaps when the Epiphany Stimulus Package (ESP) is passed by Congress; we can then hold our heads high, once again, and have the World's respect.
Yes, Romneycare... the source of a great number of wrongheaded policies that have been advanced by democrats during the health care debate.
The Mass. reform should preclude Romney from seeking elective office as a Republican. The Mass. health care reform has been an unmitigated disaster.
How are you doing Elsie....
Get insurance and government out of the 90% of the picture. Let people pay out of pocket for routine and moderate care, which would bring in competition and lower prices across the board. Give them annual tax credits of up to $5,000 in qualified medical expenses. People can then purchase catastrophic and terminal care from the insurance or government.
I wish Romney would just go away.
Slick Willard is a digusting creature. He cheapend the value of human life as MA Governor. Romney is a spiritually deaf man.
RINO speaks.
Calling the Club for Growth....Would those in charge like to make a comment?
"Affordable" is another politically charged word, just like the words "fair" and "bipartisan."
"Affordable" is also a relative term. What's affordable for billionaire Bill Gates might be way out of my league.
NE is not reliable; didn't they want RFK in the 1968 primary?
Republican primary voters, the majority truly uninformed, may go for him though because he has name ID, and George W. Romney never got "his turn".
But, but, I was told that Romney wasn't to blame for the RomneyCare debacle—the dem legislature was!
Yet here again is Romney, hailing the plan and taking credit for it!
I fully expect the Democrats in the state legislature to raise that fine in the coming years.
"Severe doc shortage seen hiking wait time The Boston Herald ^ | 9/15/09 | Christine McConville As the states shortage of primary care doctors grows, people are waiting longer for medical care, according to a new survey by the Massachusetts Medical Society. The shortage is getting more severe, said Dr. Mario Motta, the medical societys president. The states health care dilemma can serve as a valuable lesson for a nation whose residents are locked in a frenzied debate about health care reform, he added."
Health costs to rise again.( RomneyCare )
The states major health insurers plan to raise premiums by about 10 percent next year,
prompting many employers to reduce benefits and shift additional costs to workers.
The higher insurance costs undermine a key tenet of the states landmark health care law
passed two years ago, as well as President Obamas effort to overhaul health care. In
addition to mandating insurance for most residents, the Massachusetts bill sought to rein
in health care costs. With Washington looking to the Massachusetts experience, fears
about higher costs have become a stumbling block to passing a national health care bill.
Woman bleeds to death after doctor punctures jugular - and no blood is available(UK)
A young woman died in hospital after waiting almost two hours for a blood transfusion that could have saved her. Sally Thompson, 20, bled to death after a doctor accidentally punctured her jugular vein during a bungled procedure.
Despite an urgent request to the blood bank at Manchester Royal Infirmary, she died one hour and 45 minutes later, before any arrived.
Speaking after her inquest, her father John, 62, said she would still be alive if the blood had been available sooner.
The retired farmer said: 'This hospital is supposed to be the cornerstone of the NHS in Manchester, but they couldn't get any blood for two hours. "
Senior Care To Suffer Under Gov't Plan,Two-Thirds Of Practicing Physicians Say
Will the quality of care for seniors improve under health care reform currently being considered by Congress?
A recent IBD/TIPP Poll shows that a majority of physicians think the answer is no.
Of the 1,376 physicians who answered our survey, 65% said that government reform would lead to lower-quality care for seniors. "
Canadian Aboriginals receive body bags for flu
Health officials ordered an investigation Thursday into why the Canadian government
sent body bags to an Aboriginal reserve in Manitoba after community leaders requested
assistance to deal with an expected outbreak of swine flu.
45% Of Doctors Would Consider Quitting If Congress Passes Health Care Overhaul
Two of every three practicing physicians oppose the medical overhaul plan under
consideration in Washington, and hundreds of thousands would think about shutting
down their practices or retiring early if it were adopted, a new IBD/TIPP Poll has found.
The poll contradicts the claims of not only the White House, but also doctors' own lobby
the powerful American Medical Association both of which suggest the medical
profession is behind the proposed overhaul.
It also calls into question whether an overhaul is even doable; 72% of the doctors polled
disagree with the administration's claim that the government can cover 47 million more
people with better-quality care at lower cost.
The IBD/TIPP Poll was conducted by mail the past two weeks, with 1,376 practicing
physicians chosen randomly throughout the country taking part. Responses are still
coming in, and doctors' positions on related topics including the impact of an overhaul
on senior care, medical school applications and drug development will be covered
later in this series.
Nations ill-advised to follow Mass. plan [Health plan a failure]
September 17, 2009 The canary is dead.
Massachusetts, the model for the ObamaCare universal insurance plan, is the canary in
the health care coal mine. Yesterday, its obit appeared on the front page of both The Wall
Street Journal and The Boston Globe-Democrat.
Both papers reported that our Commonwealth Care reform isnt working as planned. A
new law that was supposed to control costs and drive prices down (sound familiar?) has
instead sent costs soaring.
"Patient with ulcer collapses and dies after paramedics tell her: 'Stop being a drama queen'
A retired teacher died of a burst stomach ulcer after a paramedic told her to stop being
such a drama queen and failed to take her to hospital, an inquest heard yesterday.
Mother-of-three Eileen Ellis-Whitfield, 63, died just hours after an ambulance
was called to her home when she fell seriously ill with chronic stomach pains."
"Doctors said I'd had a miscarriage and did nothing as my premature baby fought for his life
09/12/2009 Like all mothers, Sarah Capewell will never forget the first minutes she spent with her newborn baby.
She told her tiny son how much she loved him, gently kissed his face and took photos of
him wrapped in the pretty blanket she'd bought for his birth.
Then she held him tightly in her arms and watched helplessly as his body grew cold
and he finally stopped breathing.
Sarah pleaded for help from hospital staff from the moment he was born, but none came."
"British Death Panel IBD Editorials September 10, 2009
Single Payer: In Britain, where the public option is about all most patients get,
a newborn has died because national guidelines recommend that the baby not be treated."
"Obama health care plan projected to cost 5.2 million jobs
In an interview on Fox News on August 27th Mark Wilson of Applied Economic Strategies
made the economic case against the current plan for health care reform.
He said the current idea for mandating employers to insure employees or pay a fine in the form of a tax would cost employers
$49 billion dollars and cause the loss of 5.2 million jobs. In addition wages would be stunted for another 10.2 million wage earners."
"Is This The Obamacare Future? Overworked Doctors in Australia Worried They Are Killing Patients
Australia has a health care system which is similar in some aspects to what the Democrats are proposing.
In a short time (the system was set up in 1983) the country became divided into one group that gets good medical care
(private insurance) and the group whose insurance is not as good.
there are long waiting lists for orthopedic surgery (median wait for total hip replacement is 88 days;
10% of patients waited over 345 days in 1999 to 2000), and cataract surgery (median is 73 days; 10% waited more than 316 days)."
"Bay State Insurance Premiums Highest in Country - Boston Globe August 22, 2009
Massachusetts has the most expensive family health insurance premiums in the country,
according to a new analysis that highlights the states challenge in trying to rein in medical costs
after passage of a landmark 2006 law that mandated coverage for nearly everyone...
The report by the Commonwealth Fund, a nonprofit health care foundation,
showed that the average family premium for plans offered by employers in Massachusetts was $13,788 in 2008,
40 percent higher than in 2003. Over the same period, premiums nationwide rose an average of 33 percent..."
"Bed shortage forces 4,000 mothers to give birth in lifts, offices and hospital toilets
Thousands of women are having to give birth outside maternity wards because of a lack of midwives and hospital beds."
"Oregon Offers Terminal Patients Doctor-Assisted Suicide Instead of Medical Care
PORTLAND, Ore. Some terminally ill patients in Oregon who turned to their state for health care
were denied treatment and offered doctor-assisted suicide instead, a proposal some experts have called a "chilling" corruption of medical ethics.
"It dropped my chin to the floor," Stroup told FOX News. "[How could they] not pay for medication that would help my life, and yet offer to pay to end my life?"
"Sentenced to death on the NHS
In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, a group of experts who care for the terminally ill claim that some patients are being wrongly judged as close to death.
Under NHS guidance introduced across England to help doctors and medical staff deal with dying patients,
they can then have fluid and drugs withdrawn and many are put on continuous sedation until they pass away.
"Massachusetts: the laboratory for ObamaCare
Cato Institute looks a little farther down the coast to Massachusetts, where the state began its own health-care reform complete
with individual mandates and a government plan.
Cato calls it an almost perfect mirror of ObamaCare, complete with promises of reducing cost and extending care that failed in both respects:
Massachusetts shows that such a mandate would oust millions from their low-cost health plans and force them to pay higher premiums.
"Obama Health-Care Would Drive Up Inflation and Health-Care Costs
ObamaCare would shrink the economy, drive up health-care costs and inflation,
and increase the deficit,
Overall, total federal expenditures will be 5.6 percent higher than otherwise by 2019, adding $285.6 billion to the federal deficit in 2019.

"Pushing Veterans Toward the Grave
The Obama administration now seems to have our nation's veterans in the crosshairs.
Perhaps you've heard about the booklet Your Life Your Choices-also known as the Death Book for Veterans.
This book is particularly alarming, so I want to share some detail you may not have heard.
I have the book on my desk.
The "instructions" that follow sent a chill up my spine. If the veteran more than once checked the column called "worth living, but just barely,"
he or she is asked what combination of those would it take to make his or her life "not worth living"?
The Veterans Administration might as well abandon all subtleties, dig a grave and push our nation's heroes into it.
"NHS blunders allowed cannibal Peter Bryan to kill two

Peter Bryan, to murder two more people, including eating parts of the brain of one, two inquiries have found.
It found a "systematic failure" because he was looked after by an inexperienced social worker and a psychiatrist who had never worked with a convicted killer.
"Massachusetts' Obama-like reforms increase health costs, wait times [RomneyCare]
"If you are curious about how President Barack Obama's health plan would affect your health care, look no farther than Massachusetts.
In 2006, the Bay State enacted a slate of reforms that almost perfectly mirror the plan of Obama and congressional Democrats.
.... Premiums are growing 21 to 46 percent faster than the national average
in part because Massachusetts' individual mandate has effectively outlawed affordable health plans."

"Mass. Pushes Rationing to Control Universal Healthcare Costs (RomneyCare)
A 10-member Massachusetts state healthcare advisory board unanimously recommended
that the state begin rationing healthcare to keep the states marquee universal health care program afloat financially.
The July 16 recommendations, the Boston Globe explained, would result in a situation where patients could find it harder to get procedures they want but are of questionable benefit if doctors are operating within a budget.
And they might find it more difficult to get care wherever they want, if primary doctors push to keep patients within their accountable care organization.
The Globe stressed that the recommendations would dramatically change how doctors and hospitals are paid, essentially putting providers on a budget as a way to control exploding healthcare costs and improve the quality of care.
"Budget" is a more politically acceptable word for rationing.
The Globe also noted that consumer advocates said patients are going to have to be educated about the new system. Yes, apparently they will have to get used to having their healthcare rationed.
"1,000 cancer patients 'refused treatment'
0Charities warned that patients with less common forms of cancer were being discriminated against, while others condemned the system as a scandal.
Patients and their doctors can appeal for the NHS to pay for drugs not currently licensed for that type of the disease.
But one in three applications were turned down in the last three years, leaving patients having to pay up £20,000 for the medication themselves."

"Massachusetts Universal Healthcare System Breaking Down Already
When Governor Mitt Romney instituted a universal healthcare plan for Massachusetts in 2006 he proclaimed it a conservative idea.
But has it worked? Has it been successful?
For a time, many thought it might but cracks in the system are already being seen.
These cracks are instructive as a lesson on how Obamacare will crash and burn just like Romneycare is now in the process of doing.
One of the early claims that helped push Romneycare through to law was the insistence by its supporters that Emergency Room visits would fall as more and more citizens became covered under healthcare insurance.
Since ER care is far more expensive than a doctor's care, it was thought that more people with insurance would ease the overcrowding of ERs as well as lower the overall costs of healthcare.
However, a flaw in this logic has been seen throughout the state. As more people became insured, more people demanded the care of doctors. These doctors became overloaded with patients and waiting lists for doctors got longer and longer.
As a result, ERs in Massachusetts have not seen a downturn in visits. On the contrary, it seems that ER visits are actually on the upswing in the Bay State. In fact, in 2007 they were higher than the national average by 20 percent...
"Hospital patients 'left in agony'"
"Patients were allegedly left screaming in pain and drinking from flower vases on a nightmare hospital ward.
Between 400 and 1,200 more people died than would have been expected at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust over three years, a damning Healthcare Commission report said.
The watchdog's investigation found inadequately trained staff who were too few in number, junior doctors left alone in charge at night and patients left without food, drink or medication as their operations were repeatedly cancelled.
Patients were left in pain or forced to sit in soiled bedding for hours at a time and were not given their regular medication, the Commission heard.
Receptionists with no medical training were expected to assess patients coming in to A&E, some of whom needed urgent care.
Sir Bruce Keogh, medical director of the NHS, said there had been a "gross and terrible breach" of patients' trust and a "complete failure of leadership".
The Healthcare Commission's chairman Sir Ian Kennedy said the investigation followed concerns about a higher than normal death rate at the Trust, which senior managers could not explain.
He said: "The resulting report is a shocking story. Our report tells a story of appalling standards of care and chaotic systems for looking after patients. These are words I have not previously used in any report.
"There were inadequacies in almost every stage of caring for patients. There was no doubt that patients will have suffered and some of them will have died as a result."
Julie Bailey, 47, was so concerned about the care being given to her 86-year-old mother Bella at Stafford Hospital that she and her relatives slept in a chair at her bedside for eight weeks.
She said: "We saw patients drinking out of..."
"Paramedics told: 'Let accident victims die if they want to' in new row over patient rights (UK)"
Health Service paramedics have been told not to resuscitate terminally-ill patients who register on a controversial new database to say they want to die.
It has been set up by the ambulance service in London for hundreds of people who have only a few months to live so that they may register their 'death wishes' in advance.
It is believed to be the first in the country, but other trusts around the country are expected to follow suit to comply with Government guidelines which state that patients' wishes should be taken into account, even at the point of death.
Patients' groups and doctors have welcomed the scheme, but it has met opposition from pro-life groups who say it violates the sanctity of life.
The system would come into play if a cancer patient, for example, was in serious pain and rang 999 for help to alleviate the suffering.
But if the paramedics arrived and the patient was close to death, he or she would not be resuscitated if such a request was registered on the database.
This would also be the case if a patient on the database was being transferred between hospitals, and had a heart attack.
Dominica Roberts from the Pro-Life Alliance said: 'This is very sad and very dangerous. It's another step along the slippery slope, at the bottom of which is euthanasia as we see in Holland. 'Paramedics should be there to save lives. They should not be there to let patients die. The medical profession should not agree with someone's belief that their life is worthless.'"
"National Health Preview - The Massachusetts debacle, coming soon to your neighborhood."
"Three years ago, the former Massachusetts Governor had the inadvertent good sense to create the "universal" health-care program that the White House and Congress now want to inflict on the entire country.
It is proving to be instructive, as Mr. Romney's foresight previews what President Obama, Max Baucus, Ted Kennedy and Pete Stark are cooking up for everyone else.
In Massachusetts's latest crisis, Governor Deval Patrick and his Democratic colleagues are starting to move down the path that government health plans always follow when spending collides with reality -- i.e., price controls.
As costs continue to rise, the inevitable results are coverage restrictions and waiting periods. It was only a matter of time.
They're trying to manage the huge costs of the subsidized middle-class insurance program that is gradually swallowing the state budget.
The program provides low- or no-cost coverage to about 165,000 residents, or three-fifths of the newly insured, and is budgeted at $880 million for 2010, a 7.3% single-year increase that is likely to be optimistic.
The state's overall costs on health programs have increased by 42% (!) since 2006.
0What really whipped along RomneyCare were claims that health care would be less expensive if everyone were covered.
But reducing costs while increasing access are irreconcilable issues.
Mr. Romney should have known better before signing on to this not-so-grand experiment, especially since the state's "free market" reforms that he boasts about have proven to be irrelevant when not fictional.
Only 21,000 people have used the "connector" that was supposed to link individuals to private insurers."
A Very Sick Health Plan; Bay States Grand Experiment Fails [RomneyCare]
"The Daily News Record, Harrisonburg, Va. - 2009-03-31 "
"For folks increasingly leery of President Obamas plan to radically overhaul Americas health-care system,
or 17 percent of the nations economy, all this could hardly have come at a better time
that is, fiscal troubles aplenty within Repubican Mitt Romneys brainchild, Massachusetts grand experiment in universal health care."
"Initiated on Mr. Romneys gubernatorial watch in 2006, this experiment has fallen on hard times, and predictably so.
Even though the Bay State commenced its program with a far smaller percentage of uninsured residents than exists nationwide,
RomneyCare is threatening to bankrupt the state. Budgeted for Fiscal Year 2010 at $880 million,
or 7.3 percent more than a year ago, this plan, aimed at providing low- or no-cost health coverage to roughly 165,000 residents,
has caused Massachusetts overall expenditures on all health-related programs to jump an astounding 42 percent since 2006.
So what does Mr. Romneys successor, Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick, propose as a remedy for these skyrocketing costs?
Well, whaddya think? The standard litany of prescriptions (no pun intended) price controls and spending caps, for a start, and then, again predictably, waiting periods and limitations on coverage.
As in Europe and Canada, so too in Massachusetts. And, we feel certain, everyone from Mr. Romney to Mr. Patrick said, It would never happen here.
But then, such things are inevitable when best-laid plans, with all their monstrous costs, run smack-dab into fiscal reality.
"Dem Congresswoman Admits Obama Health Care Plan Will Destroy Private Health Insurance Industry"
"Romneys mistreatments a sick man, as Gov. Mitt Romney meets a medical marijuana patient"
Thousands of patients with terminal cancer were dealt a blow last night after a decision was made to deny them life prolonging drugs.
The Government's rationing body said two drugs for advanced breast cancer and a rare form of stomach cancer were too expensive for the NHS.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence is expected to confirm guidance in the next few weeks that will effectively ban their use.
The move comes despite a pledge by Nice to be more flexible in giving life-extending drugs
to terminally-ill cancer patients after a public outcry last year over 'death sentence' decisions."
"Patients Forced To Wait Hours In Ambulances Parked Outside A&E Departments
"An investigation by The Sunday Telegraph has found that thousands of 999 patients are being left to wait in ambulances in car parks and holding bays, or in hospital corridors in some cases for more than five hours before they can even join the queue for urgent treatment.
Experts warn that hospitals are deliberately delaying when they accept patients or are diverting them to different sites
in order to meet Government targets to treat people within fours hours of admitting them."
"Cancer survivor confronts the health secretary on 62-day wait (UK Socialized Medicine)
WAITING times for cancer treatment need to be cut, the Scottish Government was told yesterday.
..Cancer experts later said that patients elsewhere in Europe would be "outraged" by having to wait two months to start treatment, with most being seen within two weeks.
The current target of 62 days from urgent referral by a doctor to starting treatment has still not been met in Scotland, despite that originally being the target figure for 2005."
"Hospital patient so shocked at dirty ward she climbed out of bed to clean it herself
After 12 years cleaning care homes and private houses, no one is better qualified than Tereza Tosbell to say whether a room is spotless.
So hospital bosses should take heed of her opinion after she spent four days on a 'filthy' ward.
The mother-of-one said during her stay there was a single, brief visit from a cleaner who left dusty curtains, dirty bedframes and a messy floor.
Disgusted at the conditions, she grabbed the antibacterial fluid dispenser at the end of her bed and some hand towels from the bathroom.
She then set about cleaning her four-bed ward, at one point dropping to her hands and knees to sanitise the floor as she dragged her drip trolley behind her.
'It was shameful to see how sloppy the cleaners were while I was there. I was not prepared to put up with such conditions,'
said Miss Tosbell, a 48-year-old divorcee who was admitted to Colchester General Hospital in Essex with an abscess in her neck.."
"Kidney cancer patients denied life-saving drugs by NHS rationing body NICE (UK Socialized Medicine)
Thousands of kidney cancer patients are likely to lose out on life-prolonging drugs.
The NHS rationing body, NICE, has confirmed a ban on three out of four new treatments.
.. 'Families will be denied time together and doctors will be unable to give patients the best treatment.'."
"Girl, 3, has heart operation cancelled three times because of bed shortage (UK Socialized Medicine)
A three-year-old girl awaiting heart surgery has had her operation cancelled three times this month because of a shortage of beds.
... A hospital spokesman said that procedures would be reviewed, but the case highlights a growing problem of cancelled operations in the NHS.
More than 57,000 surgeries were postponed for non-clinical reasons, including a lack of beds, last year 10 per cent more than the previous year."

I've got a phone number input field, which allows a user to add a phone number in whatever format they want (555-555-5555, (555) 555 - 5555, etc).
Since it a phone number field only, I can ignore everything but the numbers in the field.
I'm currently using the following code. It extracts all the numbers, but the issue is that they are not in order - it's in a jumbled order.
How do I extract the numbers in the order that they appear in the original string?
preg_match_all('/\d+/', $Phone, $matches);
$Phone = implode('', $matches[0]);
Edit: They are actually not in a jumbled order from this function - I was inserting the numbers into a int(10) database field, which caused the jumbling. But, the answers below are still a more efficient way of accomplishing my goal.

Hi all, looking forward to meeting you and learning from each other. My entire focus is, and always has been, to nudge people towards thinking for themselves. Each of us needs to think for ourselves and come to our own conclusions.
To try and explain the world by looking outside the box, to reach inward for answers and lasting happiness instead of temporary external stimulus for happiness.

So what's this game like?
Wondering if I should get it in the sale or not?
If you want a game that you can play (in my opinion) over a series of weeks, popping back to it every now and then, in between playing other games then this is one to get.
Theres no doubt you'll 1k it, just a matter of time.
Rent it and 1k in 2-3 days I think. Otherwise I can get it used for 198nok but I think its better to rent and save the cash. Rental 73nok per month unlimited games 1 at a time. www.oneplay.com
The story is mediocre, the sandbox mode is great. I spent most of my time playing around on the sandbox mode but I haven't even bothered to finish the story... yet.
Overall a pretty easy going game in terms of achievements and general gameplay.

The Raptors "will unveil a secondary team logo" today, according to today's TORONTO SUN.
